Dear A. A.,
Here is Steklov’s letter. Reply to him yourself. I replied that I was agreeable, provided the subjects were changed round—philosophy for me, the peasant question for Bazarov.[1]
All the best,
Lenin
P.S. Return the letter.
[1] In October 1908, Y. M. Steklov asked Lenin to write an article “Chernyshevsky and the Peasant Question” for a collection on Chernyshevsky’s life and work. He asked Lenin to inform Bogdanov of his letter. Lenin sent Bogdanov Steklov’s letter with his own note.
The collection was not published.
